ESV Platform: the IDP engine for your data ecosystem
EasyData proposes the ESV Platform as the core IDP engine, integrated into BVA’s target architecture as a pluggable, API-connected module within the Systems & Applications layer. Our solution strictly adheres to BVA’s architectural principles: open APIs, pluggable services, and full data portability. The platform is delivered under a REST-based, API-first design philosophy — all integration uses open formats (JSON, XML) with no proprietary lock-in, ensuring BVA retains full governance over API specifications and integration documentation.
The platform is built on a distributed, multi-tier architecture designed for reliability and horizontal scalability. Documents enter through multiple ingestion channels and are routed via a central Application Server to a Processing Server with built-in load balancing. This processing layer distributes work across multiple parallel Processing Stations, allowing throughput to scale linearly by simply adding stations. The architecture supports growth from 1 million to over 30 million documents per year without re-architecture or forced re-platforming, covering BVA’s full trajectory from Startup through Scale to Heavy Load — including peak handling of 250,000 documents per day with 2x burst capacity to 500,000 documents per day and 2,000 concurrent users.
A dedicated Database Server (MS SQL / PostgreSQL, TCP 1433/5432) manages all metadata, extraction results, and audit trails. Full audit trail retention is maintained across all processing stages, providing complete traceability from document ingestion through structured data output. All processing occurs within Dutch/EU datacentres, ensuring 100% European data sovereignty — data never leaves EU borders. Encryption is applied end-to-end using TLS 1.3 for data in transit and AES-256 for data at rest, meeting the highest security standards. EasyData operates according to ISO 27001 (formal audit March 2026) and is NIS2 compliant, with its own secure EU mail server eliminating dependency on American cloud providers subject to the CLOUD Act.
The web-based EasyVerify Verification System provides browser-based human-in-the-loop review without client installation. Documents falling below configurable confidence thresholds are automatically routed to EasyVerify for manual review according to the four-eyes principle. Operator feedback from EasyVerify flows directly back into the ML model retraining cycle — quarterly during Startup, monthly during Scale, and on-demand at Heavy Load — creating a continuous accuracy improvement loop. Real-time monitoring and operational dashboards powered by Grafana provide full transparency into accuracy trends, exception rates, and system health, with automated alerting when any KPI metric drops more than 2 percentage points below agreed targets over a rolling 30-day window.
One platform, multiple AI engines — always the right technology for the job. The ESV Platform intelligently combines world-leading OCR, open-source computer vision, and premium AI to deliver maximum accuracy at the lowest cost per document.
11 stages from document to structured data
The ESV Platform processes every document through a transparent, fully auditable pipeline. Each stage is independently configured, monitored, and scalable.
Document Ingestion
Multi-channel intake: scans, PDFs, emails, batch uploads, and API submissions. Virus/malware scanning, file integrity checks, and format validation included.
Data Capture →Pre-processing & Normalization
De-skewing, noise removal, image enhancement, and resolution normalization using ABBYY FineReader Engine, OpenCV, YOLO and proprietary algorithms.
Image Enhancement →Document Classification
AI/ML and template-based document type recognition and routing. Supports CMRs, transport documents, declarations, and certificates with confidence scoring.
Document Classification →Data Extraction
Structured extraction via multiple OCR engines with voting mechanism (ABBYY, PaddleOCR, EasyOCR, Azure AI). ICR/HTR for handwriting, ML field extraction, and table detection.
OCR Software →Confidence Scoring
Field-level and document-level reliability assessment with threshold-based routing: automatic pass-through for high-confidence results, referral to human review otherwise.
Data Validation →Validation & Business Rules
Mandatory field checks, format validation (dates, IDs), cross-field consistency checks, and reference data verification via configurable business rule engine.
Data Validation →Human-in-the-Loop
EasyVerify provides web-based review queues with the four-eye principle, manual correction interfaces, and full audit logging — no client installation required.
Human-in-the-Loop →Data Enrichment
Optional enrichment via code normalization (countries, Incoterms, port codes), lookup-based enrichment, and reference matching through configurable pipelines.
Data Processing →Output & Packaging
Structured output in JSON or XML, including document metadata, confidence scores, and validation flags. Canonical data models for logistics domains.
XML Conversion →Audit, Logging & Traceability
Full processing logs, versioned extraction models, who/when/what audit trails, and retention aligned with contractual requirements. Real-time dashboards via Grafana.
Grafana Monitoring →Secure Delivery
API-based delivery to the BVA platform (REST API preferred), secure file transfer (SFTP, HTTPS), and optional event publication via webhooks.
ESV Platform →What sets the ESV Platform apart
Open API Architecture
All interaction via REST APIs with JSON/XML output. No proprietary interfaces, no vendor lock-in.
ESV Platform →Four-Eye Principle
EasyVerify: web-based verification with dual control, escalation management, full audit logging.
EasyVerify →Continuous ML Improvement
EasyVerify corrections feed the ML Training Module. 25+ year ABBYY partnership for world-leading OCR/AI.
Machine Learning →Real-time KPI Dashboards
Grafana dashboards for 24/7 monitoring. Automated alerting when KPIs drop 2pp below target.
Grafana →Data Sovereignty & GDPR
100% Dutch/EU datacenter (Kolo, Apeldoorn). No CLOUD Act. Own secure EU mail server.
Data Security →Multi-Engine OCR Voting
ABBYY, PaddleOCR, EasyOCR, Azure AI. Multiple engines vote for highest accuracy. 190+ languages.
OCR Comparison →Logistics Documents
CMRs, customs declarations, certificates, invoices. Canonical models for Incoterms, port codes.
Transport Documents →Full Data Portability
BVA retains full ownership. Export in open formats anytime. Cooperative transition, no exit penalties.
Digital Independence →Transparent Pricing
Pay-per-document, decreasing rate. No hidden costs. Each document charged once. Full downward scalability.
